Let's divide 488916 by 73
We want to divide 488916 by 73.

Step 1:
73 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 73

Step 2:
73 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 488 / 73

On to step 3:
When dividing 488 by 73, we get 6 with a remainder of 50.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 438 from 488 leaves us with 50.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 509 / 73

Let's proceed to step 4:
73 can be fit into 509 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 66.0
Subtracting 438 from 509 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 711 / 73

Advancing to step 5:
The number 73 fits into 711 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 669.0
If we subtract 657 from 711, we get 54.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 546 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
546 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6697.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 511 from 546.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
73 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6697.4
If we take 292 away from 350, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
580 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 69.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6697.47
If we subtract 511 from 580, we get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
73 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6697.479
Deduct 657 from 690 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 330 by 73, we get 4 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6697.4794
If we take 292 away from 330, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
73 goes into 380 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6697.47945
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 365 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 150 by 73, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6697.479452
If we take 146 away from 150, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
73 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6697.479452
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
73 can be fit into 400 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6697.47945205
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 365 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6697.47945205 with a balance of 3.5e-08.
